THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THEY COULD NOT REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,400.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SRX CADILLAC. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT INDICATED THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE THROTTLE BODY. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88, 0000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE TRIED TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL IT EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REBUILT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THREE MONTHS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE HUB BEARING WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF INTERSTATE ON DRY PAVEMENT, THE STABILITY SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY ENGAGES CAUSING THE ABS TO ENGAGE. THE VEHICLE WILL VEER TO ONE SIDE (HAS GONE BOTH R AND L) AS THE ABS APPLIES THE BRAKES AND THE STABILITY SYSTEM ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT FOR A PROBLEM THAT DOESNT EXIST. THE "STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED" MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE TOUCH SCREEN. ADDITIONALLY, THE STABILITY SYSTEM WILL ENGAGE (AGAIN, "STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED" MESSAGE APPEARS) WITHOUT THE ABS ENGAGING. THIS WILL OFTEN CAUSE A SLIGHT COURSE CORRECTION, BUT NO DRAMATIC VEER TO ONE SIDE. THE ABS RECENTLY ENGAGED 2 TIMES DURING A 90 MILE TRIP WITH THE STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGING (NO ABS) AN ADDITIONAL 6-8 TIMES. AT NO POINT WERE ROAD CONDITIONS IMPARED IN ANY WAY. WEATHER WAS MID 60S-LOW 70'S AND SUNNY. THE ISSUE OCCURED WITHOUT THE CRUSIE CONTROL ON (FIRST TIME, ABS ENGAGED) AND WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON(ABS NEVER ENGAGED). WHEN THE ABS ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER ENOUGH TO MOVE PARTIALLY INTO ANOTHER LANE. HAD THERE BEEN MORE TRAFFIC, I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SPEEDS AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENTS VARIED FROM 55-70. *TR

DURING ROUTINE ACCELERATION THE CAR ACCELERATOR BECAME NON-FUNCTIONAL, ENGINE WENT TO IDLE, AND ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER MANUAL SHUT DOWN ENGINE RAN NORMALLY. PROBLEM WAS FAULTY CONTROL MODULE ON THROTTLE BODY. MECHANIC REPORTED THAT ON-BOARD COMPUTER AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS THE THROTTLE DOWN WHEN THIS TYPE PROBLEM IS SENSED TO AVOID DAMAGE TO ENGINE. COMPLAINT IS THAT IF THIS CONDITION OCCURRED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY ENDANGERED. PROTECTION OF THE WELL-BEING OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS AND OTHER MOTORISTS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PROTECTION OF THE ENGINE. THIS CONDITION SHOULD BE CORRECTED ON THIS MODEL AND PROHIBITED ON ALL MODELS. *TR

FRAME FAILURE. REAR SUB FRAME WAS NOT WELDED ON PROPERLY RESULTING IN THE CAR LOSING ALL DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND GOING OFF THE ROAD. COULD HAVE BEEN BAD IF SPEED WAS NOT SO LOW. CADILLAC HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX CAR DUE TO NOT HAVING PART FOR LAST 7 MONTHS. IT IS A RECALL ON THE 05 BUT NOT THE 04. GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN TELL ME THEY WILL LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY HAVE NEWS. THEY HAVE EVEN REQUESTED TO STORE THE VEHICLE AT MY RESIDENCE RATHER THAN THE DEALERSHIP AS IT HAS BEEN THERE SO LONG. I AM SO TIRED OF THIS 7 MONTH HEADACHE. PLEASE LOOK INTO EXPANDING THE RECALL ON THE 05 TO INCLUDE THE 04. IT IS THE IDENTICAL ISSUE AND IT CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT IS JUST DISCUSSING HOW THEY CAN FORGET TO ACTUALLY WIELD PART OF THE FRAME. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT! ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY REFUSE TO ACTUALLY MAKE IT RIGHT. THEY WILL NOT EVEN GET ME A RENTAL CAR. I HAD TO GET A NEW CAR BECAUSE THE SRX IS NOT EVEN ABLE TO BE SOLD. I'M JUST OUT OF 15K?. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I HAVE AMPLE PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTATION AND RECORDED PHONE CALLS FROM GM. I TRULY DON'T WANT TO SEE SOMEONE GET KILLED AS CAN EASILY HAPPEN. THIS IS JUST HORRIBLE NEGLIGENCE ON GM'S BEHALF. I ALSO THOUGHT THEY HAD TO CONTINUE MAKING PARTS FOR 10 YEARS BY LAW? THEY JUST RECENTLY STOPPED MAKING THIS STYLE. THEY STILL HAVE 8 YEARS LEFT BY LAW TO MAKE THE PARTS. *TR
